Attempt at Burglary in BuckfieId.
BUCKFIELD, July 1.-Burglars broke into
ell and bitstock, and then went to Atwood
Spaulding & Co.'s store and made an entry
by breaking square of glass from window
on the back of the store, and took quantity
of crackers and tobacco. Near the safe was
found a large number of matches partly
burned. Evidently they looked the nice bur-
glar-proof safe over very carefully, and con-
sidered it hard job, as they did not meddle
with it. From there they went to the post
Office and forced in door to the back en-
trance. Here they rifed the money drawer
of about 50 in change, leaving another
drawer untouched with much more money in
it. 1t was probably the work of tramps.

One OF the gentlemen In Sk0whegan who
Is remembered In connection with the pro-
ceedings over Governor Coburn's win, is
Judge Dascomb. The adamantine fortitude
with which he kept the win away from anx-
ious newspaper men was much talked of at
the time, although the judge says he hopes 1t
Is all forgotten now. Governor Coburn's
will, however, Is not yet out Of the courts;
although ID. ID. Stewart Is In his last ditch
When the court sustained the will it put an
end to all important litigation. The last
point will probably be settled this month.
Among the bequests were S150,000 Of the
sum given to Colby University. 100000 to
the State College, $4,000 to the Insane Hos
pital and $4,000 to the town of Skowhegan,
concerning each of which the will stipulates
that the principal shall be funded and the
income only used. Mr.. Stewart objects that
the law OF perpetuities. OF the amount
given to the American Baptist Home Mis-
slonary Society thereis 10000 which the
will specifies as "for freedmen's schools"
Mr.. Stewart contends that this bequest Is
invalid as it creates trust''whic court Of
chancery cannot enforce because indefinite"
IL Is not probable that either of these OBJ
Jections would amount to anything II the
executors OF the will should 20 ahead and
pay the legacies; but because the sums in
yolyed are very large Mr.. Webb has filed a
bill in equity asking for construction Of
these points Of the will by the court. The
arguments on this bill will be made before
the law court here In Portland, probably the
last of this month. Judge Bonney will rep
resent Colby University and the heirs Of
Stephen Coburn, who do not object TO the
payment Of the legacies. Baker Il Cornish,
OF Augusta, will represent the Insane Hos
pltal, and probably w. I. Haynes, Of Water
vile, will represent the State College. This
will probably be the last OF the litigation
over the Coburn will. Governor Coburn
died little over two years ago. For an
estate Of from two and half to three mil
lions of dollars this may not be regarded a
very long term Of litigation.

The New Deering and Giant Mowers are
the simplest in the world.
The New Deering Machines have come to

Deering."
Have you seen the new simple Pitman and
Knife Head connection used on the Deering
MowersP
The New Deering Mowers are the cheapest
for farmers to buy-because they will last
longer and require less repairs and do better
work.
Ask for the Deering Agent in your town,
and examine it, and you will buy it If you fol-
low your best judgment and thereby increase
your wealth and happiness.
The New Deering Mowers are made by
VIM Deering & Co., Chicago, the largest

The Eeyptlan Convention.

PARIS, July 1.-The Journal des Debats,
referring to the action of the Count de
Montebello, French ambassador at Constan-
tinople, in relation to the Egyptian conyen-
tion, says Nothing is more natural than
that French diplomats should at one time
have considered that possibly France would
assent to a convention shortening by several
years the period of English. occupation of
Egypt. We are ready to negotiate on that
basis now, but we cannot agree that England
by any pretext should have the right to a
perpetual occupation of the country or that
she should be allowed to reoccupy 1t for
reasons of which she alone should judge.
No Frenchman of common sense would
thus sanction a British protectorate and
convert into right recognized by France
what now is merely fact"

Omar Clark has charge of the drivers from
the outlet of Moosehead Lake to tide waters.
The many logs that are cut on the lake and
its tributaries have to be towed across the
Lake. People who have visited the Lake
will remember seeing the large side wheel
steamers. Governor Ceburn or Fairy Of the
Lake, padding slowly across the lake at this
work. The logs are enclosed in an immense
boom, which holds the logs something as a
isnerman's net holds the fish. Sometimes
these booms, forming great floating island.
As itmovcs slowly across the lake crows, and
other birds light upon 1t, as they might up
on corn field. If the wind blows in the
wrong direction, the steamer finds itself una
BILE often to make headway or even hold its
own. Sometimes the boom brakes and lets
the logs loose on the lake to scatter and be
tossed upon the shore. Then they must be
collected again,as cattle are herded, and
towed to the outlet where they are turned
Into the Kennebec.

bill. Earl Dunraven said there 800 amend

many of the provisions of which deroga ted
from the main object of the measure.
Earl Spencer declared the bill would fail
to bring about settlement of the Irish
question and was not worth considering as
it would not relieve the tenants.
Lord Salisbury did not regard the bill as
a final measure, but he believed it would be
an element in restoring peace and good will.
The reading of the bill was fixed for Mon

is claimed, is out OF the question; the
